Description Gandy is the small obvious spire in front of and just below Dos Chichis. This climbs the left arete on the formation past six bolts and a 1" piece between the first and second bolt. A fun and worthwhile route to do if in the area.
Protection 6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor. Easy scramble/downclimb off the backside.

| I wouldn't call it an easy walk off. A fun route with a tricky finish getting over the overlap (5.9 one move). Well protected. You also have the choice of ignoring a couple of bolts and placing natural protection, but who can ignore a clip? Worth LEADING if in the area, and you've done the other face routes. |

| Fun movement, but a few too many loose plates for my taste. And I agree it's an easy walkoff. |

| Easy scramble/downclimb sounds more like it. It's not Class 1. |

| interesting, balance-y route, hollow flakes and loose edges can be disconcerting at times. Fun mantel to top out and great views |
